Tackling Heat Stress
Hot or humid conditions make thousands of workers ill every year and cause dozens of fatalities, according to OSHA. Whether you work indoors or outdoors no matter the season, you should take precautions to avoid prolonged heat stress.
To reduce the risk of heat-related disorders, workers should stay hydrated and seek shade often. It’s also important for employers to allow time for frequent breaks and schedule shorter shifts, especially for new workers who need to build heat tolerance. OSHA statistics show that nearly three out of four heat illness fatalities happen during the first week of work.
